International Workshop on
“Asian urbanism and urban informality”

With rapid and compressed development and urbanisation, Asian mega cities become global hubs of production, finance and consumption, attracting the global investors and emerging upper class, but at the same time, exhibiting the continuous expansion of the urban informality. Globalization, digitalization and neo-liberal order are further accelerating the socioeconomic transformation of these emerging cities. The workshop introduces cutting-edge researches on dynamism and dilemma of Asian urban development as well as new features of the urban informality.
